Preparation and Storage

Background: Hormone-sensitive Lipase/HSL

HSL (hormone-sensitive lipase), also called LIPE, is an 84 kDa phosphoprotein that is the rate-limiting enzyme in the catalytic breakdown of triglycerides. The human 775 amino acid (aa) form is active in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. Within the region used as an immunogen, human HSL shares 92% and 93% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat HSL, respectively. HSL translocates to triglyceride-metabolizing lipid droplets in response to epinephrine or contraction in skeletal muscle, but to the cytosol following insulin treatment of adipocytes. A 120 kDa isoform of human HSL with a 301 aa N-terminal extension is present in the testes, localized to elongating spermatids and spermatozoa.
